Scouting in Nevada

Scouting in Nevada has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.

The first Girl Scout troop in Nevada was formed in Boulder City, Nevada on April 15, 1932.

There are 2 Boy Scouts of America (BSA) local councils in Nevada.

Formerly the Boulder Dam Area Council, the Las Vegas Area Council serves Scouts in Nevada, California and Arizona. The Boulder Dam Area Council was started in 1944 with fewer than 500 youth. The former council offices were in cramped spaces on the UNLV campus, but in 2002 they moved into the new facility, the Donald W. Reynolds Scouting Resource Center. The name of the council was changed to Las Vegas Area Council in 2005. It currently serves youth in Clark and Nye counties of southern Nevada, southeastern California, and western Arizona.[citation needed]

Golden Empire Council serves Scouts in California and Nevada.

Nevada Area Council serves 14,500 youth as of December 2006
